Chapter 376: Fortune Legend, Ranked Among the Top 100 Richest People in Mainland China

In early August, the finale of "Joy of Life 2" was broadcast, with an average viewership rating of 4.24 and a cumulative online broadcast volume of over 2.5 billion.

According to a report by the Korean TV station SBS, a total of 350 million people in China have watched this drama.

Even Wei Yang didn't know how the Korean TV station calculated this data.

But what is certain is that the overseas copyright of this drama has been sold to SBS TV, and the slogan is [350 million Chinese are watching the TV series].

Later, this statement was transferred from Korea to China. I don't know if it is because of the high gold content of overseas media, this statement is widely recognized.

Wei Yang is not sure whether 350 million people watched this drama, but with more than 30% of the audience market share in the same period, although LeTV's data is seriously inflated, it is impossible that there is no reason.

Not to mention, there are various channels to verify the popularity of "Joy of Life 2".

Take Tang Yan, who plays one of the heroines, Haitang Duoduo, as an example. "Joy of Life 2" has increased her Weibo followers by nearly 4 million.

Previously, because of "Star Han Canlan", her fans on Weibo were surpassed by Zhao Liying, but now because of "Joy of Life 2" and "Tiny Times", the number of fans has caught up again.

Originally, Zhao Liying's dominance put a lot of pressure on her, the youngest of the three beauties in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but now she has recovered a lot.

Although she can't suppress the arrogance of Zhao Liying, who is at the peak of her career, she will be forced into such a mess, let alone being kicked out of the core circle of 85 flowers.

A movie and a TV series are both hits, not to mention the reputation, the data is impressive, and the influence is also quite good.

Even if Tang Yan is just playing a supporting role, the C position of "Tiny Times" is Guo Xiaosi and Da Mimi, and the core of "Joy of Life 2" is Wei Yang, and the female lead is also under pressure from Liu Shishi.

But after all, her position in the two projects is not low, and it is also a solid hard achievement, and her exposure and fame have a significant increase.

Tang Yan, who was originally on the threshold of the first-line, this time she is officially among the first-line actresses.

Although the fame, exposure, and popularity are not as good as those of the two Lius and Da Mimi, they are also in the forefront of the industry and can barely be called top-tier.

After all, there is often no unified calculation standard for top-tier things.

Especially now that we have not yet fully entered the era of traffic, the industry is ignorant, and the fan circle is not professional, so the judgment criteria are very subjective, and even the word has not been fully spread.

If there must be a quantification, the most intuitive thing is to look at things such as film pay, commercial endorsements, and appearance fees.

Capital and the market are the most realistic. How much money you can get represents your status in the circle to a certain extent.

Coral Entertainment has made a good start. After "Tiny Times" and "Joy of Life 2", Tang Yan's value has skyrocketed.

Kedun Media's new drama found her and offered a pay of 400,000 per episode. If other conditions are not considered, the 30-episode drama has won a pay of 12 million.

However, Tang Yan is a popular and famous artist, and the contract signed by Coral Entertainment and her cannot be compared with that of newcomers.

30% to 70%, she takes 70% and Coral Entertainment takes 30%.

There is no other way. You can't use that kind of leek contract to tie up artists of this level. Even if you use resources to hang them, you can't take too much wool, otherwise they are better off opening their own studios.

Not to mention that she is still Wei Yang's "own person", so he has to take care of her a little.

Of course, in addition to these divisions, there are some special terms, such as specifying resource allocation, bringing in new employees with old employees, and internal prices for own projects, which can be regarded as recruiting some benefits for the company.

At present, Coral Entertainment and Blue Whale, apart from Wei Yang's special case, only Tang Yan and Qiao Zhenyu take a 30% to 70% split.

Da Mimi belongs to a cooperative studio and has another contract model, which is different from the contracted artists.

After Zhao Liying and Xinjiang's two beauties became popular, their contracts were adjusted to a certain extent, but the best was only 60% to 40%.

In addition to factors such as status and fame, the main reason is that these people were cultivated by Blue Whale from the amateur period, and the company should make more money from them.

Tang Yan is not the only one who has benefited from "Celebrating Yu Nian 2". Her size is relatively large, but it is not particularly obvious.

Those young actors are the ones who have really soared to the sky!

Take Huang Xuan, who plays the second prince, for example. He originally became famous because of "Red Sorghum" and "Legend of Miyue". He released the style accumulated in works such as "Tuina" and finally got in touch with many high-quality resources.

And now, the two "Celebrating Yu Nian" made him famous earlier than in his previous life, and he is more popular.

Before the "Celebrating Yu Nian" series was broadcast, his Weibo fans were only five digits.

After the two dramas were broadcast, the fans increased dozens of times and now have exceeded 1 million+.

Coral Entertainment even wanted to sign him at one time, but he had deep contact with the Beijing circle and the Northwest circle behind him, and there was also a big sister Wen Li, whose background was relatively complicated, and they finally did not reach an agreement.

Others such as Tian Yu, Zhang Yishan, Cui Peng, and Di Li Rouba also benefited a lot, especially several more likable supporting roles, who are quite popular.

Not long ago, Tian Yu attended an event with a very high presence, becoming a highlight of the event.

What's more interesting is that Tian's ex-girlfriend Tang Wei was also at the event. Judging from the popularity and even popularity of the public, Tian Yu is even slightly better than this "literary goddess".

Even if this was due to the fact that "Celebrating Yu Nian 2" is currently on the air and the popularity of the character, it is enough to have such an experience.

Boss Wei even made a special call to congratulate Teacher Tian. The latter was very humble, but the arrogance and sadness in his tone could not be blocked by the mobile phone signal.

Regardless of whether the breakup process was embarrassing or not, many people prefer to let the person who left them see that they are living a good life now.

However, no matter how popular these heroines and supporting characters are, they cannot be more popular than Wei Yang, who is the core of the whole drama.

Rough statistics show that during the broadcast of "Qing Yu Nian 2", Wei Yang and related topics logged a total of 129 hot searches on Weibo, an average of almost 5 to 6 per day.

According to the artist media index, from July to August, Wei Yang ranked first in the list. At the same time, there were six starring actors in "Qing Yu Nian 2" in the top ten.

In the Baidu search index, Wei Yang also ranks first, and other actors are no exception. On a par with him is the character in "Celebrating More Than Years". Fan Xian once became the most famous online virtual character.

According to statistics from a certain point, since the broadcast of "Qing Yu Nian 2", the original novel has once again reached the top of the best-seller list, and even ranked first for a long time.

Not only at a certain point, many pirated websites have also become a paradise for fans of "Qing Yu Nian", and the number of clicks remains high.

Wei Yang himself was so popular that he was even named the "Anti-Korean General" for attracting a large number of new fans and suppressing the traffic of Korean dramas and Korean Wave.

There is no way, the Korean wave has become more and more rampant in the past two years, Wei Yang has been toiling in movies again, and there is no one to carry the banner on the small screen.

After all, although 85 Flowers has gained the upper hand, they are still female stars, and the base of Hallyu is female fans. Therefore, if they want to fight against Hallyu, they have to be supported by male artists.

There is no doubt that Wei Yang is the mainstay in the Chinese film and television industry's fight against the Korean Wave, and is even the only one to counterattack Japan and South Korea in batches with TV series.

In his early years, he was hailed as the "Anti-Korean Pioneer". In the past two years, the Korean Wave has been rampant, and Wei Yang had another year and a half of vacancy. Others could not hold up, and people became more and more aware of Wei Yang's influence. The name has naturally been upgraded.

One person beats the Korean wave!

Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, in this year's summer season, with "Celebrating More Than Years 2", whether it is a domestic drama or a Korean drama, it has been beaten to pieces. It has indeed achieved the feat of dominating one party, and even TV series have been introduced. overseas.

No matter which field it is, as long as it carries the name of "fighting the enemy" and rises to the level of national honor, the popularity and favorability of the person concerned will be greatly improved.

Wei Yang actually didn't want to make it so big. This bowl is not so easy to serve, and if it is not good, it will be backlashed easily.

But there are times when situations don’t center on one’s will.

The industry, the media, and even the public netizens who are fed up with being disgusted by the Korean Wave and Koreans need some "heroes" to stand up.

Wei Yang, who was framed, would not give in and could not give in. Therefore, although he did not publicly shout "Hua Liu is the most shameful", he took a tacit stance towards resisting the Korean Wave and building momentum from all parties.

As for more straightforward words, Wei Yang can't say it!

He himself may not care about the Japanese and Korean markets, but he still has a large group of people under him, and Blue Whale also has various cooperation projects, so he cannot make a public statement regardless of everything.

"...I don't care what some people think of me, and I don't care about some controversies and conjectures, but as a member of the Chinese film and television industry, I feel that I have always done what I should do, and I am not ashamed."

In an interview with "Entertainment Star World", Wei Yang talked about this topic tactfully and revealed a certain attitude.

After being interviewed by the entertainment media, Boss Wei chatted with the financial media.

"Qing Yu Nian 2" has received huge ratings, and the public knows nothing more about who is more popular and who is more famous.

But what the industry and even elites are more concerned about is the economic effect this drama will bring.

Back then, when Wei Yang was filming "My Love from the Star", Aoao brought goods, which directly taught the entire entertainment, advertising and even financial circles a lesson. It turns out that a drama can become so popular and the economic profits behind it are so huge.

He almost single-handedly subverted and changed the model of urban dramas, advertising, brands and other multi-party cooperation.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is an ancient drama that focuses on Machiavellian tactics and martial arts, so you don't have to worry about commercials or anything like that.

However, the situation now is different from that back then. Back then it was about selling goods + advertising, but now it’s about finance + stocks.

After the broadcast of "Qing Yu Nian 2", it is difficult to say who has benefited the most, but LeTV must have a share.

LeTV was listed in 2010, and its market value at that time was about 5 billion. In the past two years, with the rapid development of it and even LeTV behind it, the market value has been rising.

As of early June, LeTV's market value has exceeded 22 billion, surpassing Big Brother Youku and ranking first among all video websites.

After entering the summer season in June, dramas such as "The Bodyguard" further increased LeTV's market value. Until "Qing Yu Nian 2", LeTV's market value entered a stage of explosion, and its current market value has reached 27.6 billion.

In less than two months, the price surged by RMB 5.6 billion, and countless investors holding LeTV shares were delighted.

Of course, LeTV is a well-known monster stock, and its situation is complicated. There are various reasons for the short-term surge.

But it is undeniable that the "Celebrating More Than Years" series played a major role in it. It can be said to be a catalyst and booster that played a decisive role.

In addition to LeTV, several listed companies under Hunan Province Taiwan have also made a lot of gains, and in the field of online literature, the valuation at a certain point has directly increased by dozens of percentage points.

Online literature IP has even become an important asset. The copyrights hoarded by Cheng Beike Culture Company under Wei Yang can be easily valued at hundreds of millions if they are used as selling points for financing. If Blue Whale participates, billions of dollars is not a problem.

Not to mention the valuation of Blue Whale itself. Ordinary institutions dare not come to make an offer, and even many large capitals are extremely cautious.

Wei Yang's own wealth has also risen rapidly. At the end of last year, Wei Yang's wealth was just over 3 billion on the Forbes Rich List.

Now half a year has passed, and he has doubled and is richer.

In the real-time Forbes Rich List in August, Wei Yang's wealth has reached 8.3 billion, from 377 last year to the top 100 in one go.

What's more, the Forbes rankings marked Wei Yang with a [? ].

This question mark means that Wei Yang's wealth may not be consistent with the actual situation, but Forbes said that Wei Yang's question mark is not high, but low.

Because Blue Whale is not listed and is a light-asset cultural and film and television company, Forbes's valuation calculation is relatively complicated. Based on Wei Yang's shares in Blue Whale, 8 billion is a very conservative and even underestimated calculation.

There is no way. Blue Whale is not listed or even has no financing. No matter how exciting the valuation is, it is still false. Forbes cannot directly calculate it based on the valuation, and can only compress it relatively.

But even so, it is enough for Boss Wei to complain. 8 billion+, even if he is torn up and sold, there is still no such money.

Boss Wei is ashamed to see the report "Wei Yang is ranked among the top 100 richest people in the mainland".

Let alone the big guys who are not on the list, even among the 100 rich people on the list, he is also one of the few with the weakest foundation. The only thing he can show is that his company has no debts. At most, it will return to its "original form" and there is no risk of bankruptcy.

Even if Wei Yang himself is weak, he has been praised by the outside world.

25 years old!

A child of a town!

Started from scratch!

A popular superstar!

Started a business for several years!

Worth billions!

The top 100 richest people in the mainland!

Any two titles combined are sensational enough. If all are piled together, it is simply a wealth myth that is enough to drive countless people crazy.

Even if Jack Ma, Wanda Wang, Baidu Li are much richer than him, and their entrepreneurial energy is also legendary, they can't stand Wei Yang's handsomeness and youth.

The light of the post-80s!

Youth struggle idol!

The new generation of business representative!

If these titles were more or less exaggerated and unconvinced by some people in the past, but as Wei Yang's wealth has skyrocketed, such voices have become less and less.

Maybe Wei Yang has all kinds of problems, but his business achievements and the number of people who are qualified to challenge him in the country are not four digits...
